APT flushes stdin before running dpkg as a precaution against errent typing during the long download phase. I could add an option to turn it off, but what you are doing is fundamentally unsafe and is probably a really, really bad idea. You would be better off with APT not in the picture because you can then call dpkg with a pre-deterimed order so your reponses actually match the packages they are intended for! Jason
